“Each room evokes a feeling of a detailed collector – through vintage rugs, antique furniture, decorative objects and, of course, art. The entirety of space is elevated, interesting and also comfortable. This house is a true color story that ebbs and flows with a harmonious blend of quiet and bold moments, casual spaces and also subtle notes of formality. The end result is an unexpected, complex and layered home, much like the art it is serving to frame.”

The family home of the founder of Framebridge by  Zoë Feldman Design not only showcases the art (in Framebridge frames of course) but the marriage of old and new resulting in stylish modern living with more than a touch of fun.

Welcome to Katie Rosenfeld‘s new-old home. A historic Tudor that is a feast for the eyes. I love all of the patterns, the earthiness and the bits of black throughout. Photos: Read McKendree
The extensive renovation of this home took place in the height of the Covid pandemic, and was inspired by the history of the home and the Anglophile homeowner’s obsession with all things British. The result is a quirky, unfitted family home that celebrates imperfection, nooks and crannies and showcases a home well lived in. There are character references throughout.
In Katie’s own home, you see her unleashed whimsy and sense of humor, while managing to stick with classic, iconic and historically appropriate touches.

I was looking up the work of designer Nicholas Haslam and found a couple of articles about one of his latest projects – his new home in the Cotwolds. It’s charming and resourceful and small yet filled with beautiful things in every nook and cranny, furnished with pieces from nearby auction houses and local dealers, and objects that he has frequently transformed from their original purposes. For example, the library chandelier is made up of a cake tin, a plant support and a tin star with pods of an Indian oak-apple tree painted green, all hanging from a red plastic chain bought at a local agricultural store. The central light in his bedroom is an upturned Ikea fruit bowl; cardboard butterflies are silhouetted inside an outsize round paper lampshade in the hall; and painted corrugated cardboard makes a sensational dado in the library. A large ceramic vase, marbleised in viridian green by the potter, stands under a console in the hall; it needed a top and by cutting in half and marble-painting a rubber ball that fits it exactly, Nicky finished it off with appropriate panache.

Several months back an issue of Architectural Digest appeared in my mailbox that had rendered me extra smitten. It was thanks to this wonderfully eclectic West London townhouse designed by Rachel Chudley. Filled with a variety of antique pieces from various eras, tapestries, rugs, suzanis, leopard wallpaper….the home is warm, thoughtful, and fabulously random. (Photos: Simon Upton)

Minimalist interiors, soft berry tones rippled through a base of white on white and a killer modern art collection. What else could you want for your inner city Sydney family home? Randwick House by interior decorator and stylist Claudia Lambert.
